The epilogue to the tragedy at the wedding, when a flare killed a 35-year-old guest.

A tragic incident occurred during a wedding ceremony in Šibenik, Croatia, where a 35-year-old guest was killed by a signal flare fired improperly. Two men, aged 53 and 39, were officially charged with endangering public safety due to their reckless handling of the flare. The incident took place on September 27, 2025, at the Church of St. James in Šibenik, where many people had gathered for the wedding. According to the indictment, the 39-year-old brought flares and a lighter to the event and allowed the 53-year-old to take one without explaining its nature or proper usage. The 53-year-old failed to check what he held or ensure he knew how to handle such equipment, leading to the flare being fired directly toward the ground, striking the floor, bouncing back, and hitting the victim. The woman suffered severe injuries and later died in the hospital.
